Poking my head in here to share about a dear friend's New Adult Novella that released a year ago, and is now being re-released with a gorgeous new cover and an audio book edition! Happy 1st birthday to How a Star Falls, Amber!

A Note from the Author

A year ago today (November 18th),
my little star story, How a Star Falls,
landed on Amazon. I’m thrilled to celebrate the anniversary of its release with
you by introducing a brand-new cover
(where the hero, Derrick, makes an appearance) and sharing a fun giveaway with prizes from some of
my favorite Etsy shops!

If you journeyed with Derrick
and Brielle when their story first released, thank you for allowing them into
your heart. And if this will be your first time meeting them, I hope you’ll be
encouraged by their story and reminded of the hope of Psalm 138:8: “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth
me.”

Blessings through life’s
seasons!

About
the Book

Sweet New Adult
Contemporary Romance Novella

How does a star fall?

Quickly. Completely. Unexpectedly.

Derrick Knolane escapes to Trinidad Head most evenings, avoiding his apartment
and planning for the day he'll break free of Humboldt County. Working in a
music store might be fine for a while, but it's far from the goal he had in
mind when he got his college degree. Not to mention the fact that his roommate
is a jerk and his family won't stop trying to run his life.

Then Brielle falls into his world.

She claims to be a star. Not from Hollywood, but from heaven. He thinks she's
crazy. Certainly delusional. Yet, he can't just leave her alone on the cliffs.
So he takes her home.

And his whole world falls apart.

A heartfelt and fanciful contemporary romance novella, How a Star Falls explores
the uncertain season of new adulthood and shows that sometimes the worst inconveniences
make for the best miracles of all.

Amber Stokes worksas a marketing content writer for a
Christian publisher. On the side, she self-publishes inspirational fiction
depicting the seasons of life and love. Her passion for books compelled her to
earn a bachelor's degree in English and run her own freelance editing and
publicity business for over a year. Happily, this chapter of her career takes
place in the Pacific Northwest—a part of the world she's always considered
home.

Lena Goldfinch writes
inspirational historical romance and books for teens. She’s always been a
sucker for a good old-fashioned romance, whether it’s a novel or short story,
young adult or adult, fantasy or realistic, contemporary or historical. Lena
has been a finalist in several national writing contests, including the RWA
Golden Heart and ACFW Genesis contests. She enjoys life in a quiet small town
with her husband, two kids, and two very spoiled black Labs.

Why these prizes? The earrings include stars, which fit this
occasion for obvious reasons. ;) The compass is a reference to a song mentioned
in the story: “If My Heart Was a House” by Owl City (you can listen HERE).
And the cards are a little teaser for my next contemporary romance, Where Trains Collide.
(Let’s just say the hero’s nickname is Paul Bunyan. Can you guess the heroine’s
nickname?)
